The relationship between anxiety, depression, daytime sleepiness in the REM-related mild OSAS and the NREM-related mild OSAS

ConclusionThe results of our study suggest that patients with REM-related OSAS have higher rates of depression and anxiety compared to non-REM-related OSAS patients and this may adversely affect quality of life. It may be possible to prevent psychiatric complications, such as depression and anxiety, by administering treatments that reduce REM sleep duration and intensity in patients with REM-related OSAS.
